A few weeks ago, when we ran the story on Zvezda's German Heavy Truck in 1/35th scale, it was necessary to ''wing-it'' a bit. Here are more details and images of the sprues. The Updated story can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Those are some nice looking sprues.
The moulding on the tilt hoops looks especially fine.
The photos are nothing special, but the overall impression is a pretty good base kit to go to town on, or just a pleasant enough OOB
Personally I'm not keen on the renders of the figures, but the driver looks good, while the mechanic looks a bit knock-kneed; a good figure to split in two and use the legs and torso with some alternate parts for a more interesting pose.
Thanks for showing us these - any idea when we can get an in-box review..?

This looks promising. This is bound to be a popular model given the subject. I will get one for sure.

Thanks for the news update

Indeed, the hoops looks good, fine and in scale but, knowing the habit of Zvezda to pack the frames loose in a relatively soft cardboard boxes, let's wait to see what will happen with them. And are those figures "pictures" 3D-generated or simply my eyes are old and tired?
Also, call me dumb but I can't get why a normal 2-axle truck needs so many tires! Are the half of them for load or what?

This looks like it could turn out to be a good quality kit. The possabilities for this kit is many and varied for aftermarket items. Crane truck, AA gun truck, mobile maintance workshop and others unnamed are many. A late war version with maultier running gear and late war cab, or armored cab version could be a great addition to this kit. Zvezda has alot of options out there for making a money maker out of this kit. All they got to do is make sure this base kit is good to excelent. I'll be waiting for a review to see what is thought of this kit.

Looks really good. Nice to see that there doesn't seem to be any sink holes in the loadbed. This is usually a difficult part on a truck kit, large & fairly even thickness except where the structural beams are.
The tyres wasn't made of vinyl either :-)

No, no more old and tired than mine - they ARE Cad-Generated images

A few shots to get the creative juices flowing!

I just picked this kit up at my local hobby shop, and a first look into the box has got me rather excited. This is a very detailed kit, with complete braking system, engine detail, reasonable cab interior and with very few mould seams to clean up. The two figures look nice, but I will reserve comment until I have assembled them.

I'll do a in box review as soon as I can get the pics up and running.

Cheers

2 weeks ago I saw one at my LHS.
Gone since then.. anyway no space for more boxes or displays.

I'll get a 3,7 flak gun and build a Flak Merc Benz
